Description
The former Lloyds Bank, located at 222 to 225 Strand in the City of Westminster, was originally built as the restaurant for the Royal Courts of Justice, known as Palsgrave Restaurant, between 1882 and 1883 by architects Goymour Cuthbert and W Wimble. The building features a Baroque elevation made of red sandstone, with a ground storey and mezzanine adorned with a row of Doric pilasters in pink granite. The second and third storeys are decorated with a Corinthian order that rises from an iron railed balcony. The building also has an attic storey beneath a slated mansard roof. Inside, the vestibule is decorated with coloured earthenware, which includes two wall fountains. The building served as Lloyds Bank from 1894 until 2017.
